This is a key week for public broadcasting as the Senate prepares to vote on Trump's proposed cuts. The impact will be felt everywhere, but especially in downstate communities where public broadcasting is the primary source of news. By @danvock: chicagotribune.com/2025/07/16/ill…

Another day, another flood watch (it's a record-breaking 14th since May) for DC area. Storms with torrential rain most likely 5-10p tonight. We're in a level 3 out of 4 risk of flash flooding. Details at cwg.live

NEW: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott won't release his emails with Elon Musk or his companies, in part because they are "intimate and embarrassing." Boy oh boy, those must be some good emails. Smart story from @lmcgaughy of the Texas Newsroom. propublica.org/article/texas-…

After the tragedies in Texas, many Chicago-area scientists and politicians worry that cuts the Trump administration has made to the National Weather Service will hamper future responses — and more cuts are on the table. Our @chicagotribune story today: chicagotribune.com/2025/07/14/ill…

danvock's tweet card. The Chicago area has felt less of an impact from the Trump administration’s National Weather Service cuts than offices in the Quad Cities and downstate Lincoln.

The Supreme Court ruling has opened the possibility that President Donald Trump can fulfill the executive order he signed and block U.S.-born children of immigrants from obtaining citizenship in most of the country — although not, for now, Illinois. trib.al/c9mi4ZM

While immigration law is notoriously complex and can change rapidly, one bright line has remained constant for more than a century: People born in the United States are considered citizens. Check out my story with @nellbsalzman in today’s Tribune. chicagotribune.com/2025/07/06/sup…

danvock's tweet card. High court’s decision fuels uncertainty about whether babies born to immigrants lacking legal immigration status will be considered American citizens, despite 14th Amendment.
